Deo not adopt, for the purpose of being pho- tographed, a style of dress to which you az unaccustomed. It will make you feel awk- ward, and you lose in grace. The same ad- vice holds good in regard to dressing the hair. Taboo coiffeurse, who will give you a @ new style, and perhaps entirely alter your expression. All your friends will wonder why your photographs, though beautiful and stylish, are not good likenesses. So you lose naturalness. Consequently, having neithe> grace nor naturalness, you blame the photographer for his inability to work miracies. Therefore, dress in the style in- dividual to yourself. PRINCE, Pa. ave. and 11th.

Moore against the threatené& institution in tnis | city of winter racing, with all its attendant | evils, has received the hearty approval of all good citizens. The prompt measures | taken by the police under Maj. Moore’s di- rection, and seconded by the District Com- missioners and the judges of the Police | Court, makes it even quite certain that the city will not become a safe harbor for touts, gamblers and all the disreputable followers of such races. A communication | has been addressed by Mr. A. L. Swartwout, secretary of the boasd af Gitecters ef tO | cr in viperted and ine Sew cates of igh: | Central Union Mission, as follows: “in behalf and by order of the board of direc- | tors of the Central Union Mission of this city, I address you, and state that we _ heartily unite with Maj. Moore in urging | the refusal of a racing license to the Horse Racing Association for this city or District. The workers of this mission are in posi- tion and touch by the opportunities of our work with the tramp element and other | evil classes, which at times infest our city, | to know that a gathering of pickpockets | and blacklegs of various sorts who congre- gate at races are always a menace and @ damage to the quiet, peaceful ways, prop- erty and homes of good citizens. We trust the license will be denied.” Action Postponed. The Commissioners this morning post- poned final action on the application for a | license to conduct racing at Ivy City until next Wednesday morning, when the repre- sentatives of the association will appear be- fore the Commissioners ana argue the right of the Commissioners to refuse a license. This morning President G. H. Engeman of the Brighton Beach Racing Association, and the prime mover in the local affair, accom- panied by Mr. Albert Gleason of the Ivy City syndicate and Lawyer Coleman, ap- peared before the Commissioners to ask for a postponement of final action in the case. Mr. Coleman explained that the association that sought to conduct racing at. Ivy City was a responsible one, in every sense of the word, and would spare no effort or money to make the racing a credit to the national capital. It had been urged, he stated, that the police force would be greatly hampered in looking after the followers of the races, but he would assure the Commissioners that Mr. Engeman was as anxious to be rid of this set of men as they were. With this in view, it was his purpose to employ a number of special detectives and policemen to preserve order and dispose of this bad element. He urged a postponement of the case until next week, when the matter would be properly placed before the Com- missioners. The Commissioners named next Wednes- day morning at 11 o'clock to hear those in- terested in the matter. ——_—_. CARDINAL’S ESCORT. Arrangements for the Laying of the St. Matthew's Corner Stone. Only a few of the Catholic societies were represented at the meeting whic was called to be held last evening in the basement of St. Matthew's Church. Father Lee appoint- ed a committee, consisting of Messrs. Lang- don, Green and Downey, to confer with Mr. McQuade and Mr. Hannan in regard to the appointment of an escort for the Cardinal at the laying of the corner stone tomorrow of the new edifice of St. Matthew's Church. It was stated that the escort ought to con- sist of seventy or eighty men, and that its duties would be to accompany the cardinal from the house to the foundations, and thence around the walls. Father Lee ex- pressed the desire that all the Catholic so- cieties should be represented, and he sug- gested that the escort should be made up of representatives from the different organiza- tions In the city. The cemmittee was given full power to select the members of the societies for this duty. —— at Hope and Help Mission. A house warming was held yesterday in the new home of the Hope and Help mis- sion, 622 H street northwest. The ladies in- terested in this work received the guests who came in during the afternoon and | evening and inspected the ample quarters which had been secured. They also left substantial tokens of their presence and their interest in the shape of provisions and other supplies, and it was not forgotten that the present is the Thanksgiving sea- son. a Daughters of the Revolution. There was a continued session of the meeting of November 21, held at Metzerott’s Hall, last evening, by the Mary Washington Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The following ladies were elected on the board of management for the ensuing year: Miss Nancy Ball, Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee, Miss Pearre, Mrs. J. Platt Foot and Miss Elizabeth Lee Wash- ington. The delegates to the continental congress of February, 184, to be held at | Wasnington, were: Mrs. Henry, Miss Janet H. Richards, Mrs. Hoge and Mrs. C. A. Mann. A handsome gavel, made of the wood of a tree from the grave of Thomas Jefferson, and tied with the colors of the American revolution, blue and white, was presented to the chepter by Miss Ida P. Beall and was used during the evening. ere Tia is Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been tssued by the clerk of the ccurt to the following: Thomas L. Stewart and Sadie E.

Wasbingtoi Death Rate Goes Up, but is Still Low. The report of Health Officer Hammett for \last week shows a slight increase in the | | | | | death rate as compared with that of the previous week. The report says: “There were ninety-six deaths reported last week, The number for the previous week was eighty-eight. The death rate was 17.5, as compared with the mean annual rate of 23.5. Although there was an in- crease in the number of deaths, yet the mortality is much below the annual aver- age. This increase was mainly owing to the prevalence of acute lung maladies, which caused thirteen deaths, while the mortality from these causes by the last re- port was but six. The dangerous conta- gious diseases are almost wholly in abey- ance. “The principal causes of death were heart and gastric ailments among the aged and marasmus and accidents attending birth among infants. Scarlet fever prevails in sporadic form, presenting an extremely mild type of the disorder, attended with no fatal results. There were four new cases theria, with six deaths therefrom. Malarial maladies present no prominent feature of the hygienic conditions. As compared with the same period of last year, when 10) deaths occurred, the continued good health of the city this season gives encouragement to expect a favorable winter in this re- gard.” The report shows: Popperian’ of deaths, 96; white, 5: 1 colored, Death rate per 1,000 per annum: White, ; colored, 21. Total population, 17.5. Twenty-seven were under five years of age, 17 were under one year old and 26 over 60 years. Fourteen of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutions. The prin- cipal causes of death were: Croup, 1; diph- theria, 6; consumption, 9; diarrhoeal, vy phoid fever, 5; malarial fever, 2; pneumonia, 9; congestion of the Jungs, 3; bronchitis, 1; k'dney diseases, 4; meningitis, 2; cancers, 2. Births reported: Thirty-one white males, 34 white females, 16 colored males, 17 col- ored females. Marriages reported: Twenty- seven white, 6 colored. Still births report- ed: Five white, 7 colored. >. AMUSEMENTS. Coquelin and Hading.—The American tour of M. Coquelin and Mme. Hading will, from present indications, prove one of the most interesting these famous artists have undertaken in many years. Their reper- tory is strong. The varied quality of the plays in which they appear cannot fail to appeal to the great majority of theater goers. Seldom, indeed, have American lov- ers of the drama an opportunity to see representatives from the famous Theatre Francaise in some of the best works of the French dramatists. Even though an audience may not be conversant with the French language, the pantomime of the players is so clever that the play is readily followed without the ald even of a libretto. ‘The people engaged to support M. Coquelin and Mme. Hading are acknowledged to be the best French players, as a company, ever brought to the country. It is com- posed of M. Jean Coquelin, son of the fa- mous comedian; Messrs. Volny, Chameroy, Maury, Deroy, Hertz, Nicolini, Ramy, Chambly and Moriere, and the female members of the company are Mmes. Paul- ine, Barety, Duluc, Danville, Simonson, and Dalba. In most of the plays an- nounced for presentation here at Albaugh’s next week M. Coquelin and Mme. Hading will be seen together on the same night. Among them will be “Tartuffe,” “La Pre- cieuses Ridicules,” “Frou Frou,” “L’Aven- turiere” and Claire in “Le Maitre de Forges.” It was, it may not be out of plece to remark here, in the last-named character in “The Forge Master” that she made her first distinct hit before the Paris public in an emotional role. That the visit of the representatives of the “House of Moliere” will be one of gratification to the large number o ftheater goers there ig little reason to doubt. Frank Mayo.—That veteran actor Frank Mayo makes his appearance in Washing- ton this season at Harris Bijou Theater in his famous play, “Davy Crockett.” His performance of that powerful and poetic role is described as “the crystallized excel- lence of ripe experience of genius for char- acter acting, and of either extraordinary intuition or a consummate knowledge of human nature.” Of the many good things that Mayo has done Crockett is unques- tionably his best. Its story is simple, but full of beauty, and the central character calls forth to their perfection the personal graces and the dramatic power that have caused Mayo to be regarded with a popu- lar admiration that amounts almost to af: fectiqn. His engagement is one of the most interesting of the present season. Reilly & Wood's Company.—Two new and unique attractions will be presented at the Lyceum next week in connection with Reilly & Wood's big vaudeville company. One of these will be “Big Frank,” the orig- inal boxing kangaroo, from Sir George Wombell’s managerie, London. The other is a bevy of Hawaiian dancing girls, who appeared on the Midway Plaisance during the world’s fair in the Hula! Hula! their national dance. At the conclusion of this they sing their native songs, with ac- companiments upon native instruments. ‘The famous Reilly & Wood Company sup- plement these attractions with a superior vaudeville performance, which concludes with the roliicking farce entitled “The Mystic Order of Undertakers,”” with Pat Reilly in a favorite characterization. Convention Hall.—The concerts of the Imperial Austrian Infantry Band at Con- vention Hall are increasing in popularity, and the audience last night was the largest yet. and the applause was almost con- tinuous. Perhaps the most artistic number on the program was Handel's Largo for strings, which was exquisitely played. Nearly every selection was encored and the audience even then was hardly satisfied. ‘The matinee that was to be given today has been postponed until tomorrow afternoon, and the prices have been fixed for that oc- casion at fifty cents, with children at half price. So popular have been these concerts that the engagement of the band has been prolonged through the entire week, and it will be heard every night and at a matinee on Saturday. It is rarely that an opportu- nity is given for listening to such an excel- lent body of musicians and the big Conven- tion Hall should be crowded at each con- | cert. Seidl and Slivinski.—A treat soon in store for the musical as well as the fashionable world is the advent at the Seidi concert, December 8, of Herr Slivinski. By those who have had the pleasure of hearing him both in Europe and New York, he is considered to be fully the equal of the gift- ed Paderewski, while, unlike the latter, he has everywhere received the social stamp of recognition due to his charming person- ality and fine air of distinction. It is predicted that he will meet with much success both musically and socially during his visit here. National Rifles’ Hall.—Tonight there will be an amateur dramatic performance at the National Rifles’ Hall by the Sheri- dan Dramatic Company, when Byron’s excellent comedy, “Our Boys,” will be pre- sented. The performance will be for the benefit of the Fifth Battalion, D. C. N. G., and the charity fund of Phil. Kearney Camp, No, 15, Div. of Md., 8. of V. There should be a good attendance. Patti—The advance sale of seats for the Patti concert that will take place at Al- baugh’s next Monday opened at Droop’s music store this morning, and there was a long line of people anxious to secure seats, showing the great interest that is felt in the appearance of the greatest singer of the age. The result of the sale indicated that the audience will be the largest to which Patti has ever sung in this city. Prof. Wm. C. Carl at Metropolitan M. E. Church.—The program which Prof. Wm. C. Carl will render at the Metropolitan M. E. Church tomorrow evening not only makes a severe demand upon the abilities of the per- former, but- has been compiled with a rarely cultivated taste. It contains speci- mens of the best work of the older organ masters, together with compositions of the} most advanced modern school, including several pieces which are attracting much attention in Europe, but which have never before been rendered upon this side of the Atlantic. With the magnificent Instrument in the church on which to display his skill the concert must prove a rare treat. gee ing Kappa Alpha. A number of resident alumni members of the Greek letter fraternity Kappa Alpha met yesterday at the office of Mr. F. S. K. Smith, 907 G street, for the purpose of forming a local chapter of the fraternity. It is proposed to establish a club house here for the entertainment of its members and of its visiting brethren. Those present at the meeting were: Messrs. Arthur Johns, M. G. Bruce, C. P. Faulkner, F. C. Newton, Ss. L. Car W. Read Johnson, G. A. Cralle, H. V.'Keli, S. W. Williams, Charies E. Cabell, F. S.

Evidence in Court Today—Jenlous of Other Women—Cut Up the Pic- tures—The Sentence. Once more there is trouble in the Nico- laides family and Judge Miller instead of the divorce court was called upon to settle the affair. Kimon Nicolaides keeps the Japanese emporium on F street, where he has a valuable stock of oriental goods, in- cluding rugs, china ware and pictures. On several occasions the wife has visited her husband's store, smashed the window and | destroyed goods. Last evening she went to the store and did more damage than usual, but she spared the large plate glass win- dow. She had promised to remain away to sign an agreement to let her husband alone so long as he supported her. But yesterday she broke the truce because she charged that he was going with a woman other than herself. Mrs. Nicolaides reached her husband's store in a carriage and was met outside by her husband, who was com- pletely surprised at her appearance. It took but a few seconds for the husband to embrace his wife, but with a feeling en- tirely different from that of a few years ago, when he promiscod to protect and keep her. He claims that he has always been willing to keep his part of the contract, but she will not let him. In a few minutes the husband’s face was badly disfigured, showing the marks made by the wife's finger nails. When he was forced to re- treat he did so, leaving his necktie and collar on the floor. The clerks in the store had gone to the basement to keep out of the fignt and Mrs. Nicolaides also went down there to continue her work of destruction. When Policeman Dodge appeared and placed her under ar- Revieioes MeNepthinsy the appearance of en visit “ 2 ‘ore Minas cyclone, by “Jack the Slasher’ Scene of the Wreck. Mr. Nicolaides’ silk hats were on the floor, where they had been walked over, his silk umbrella had been torn in shreds, two valu- able ofl paintings had been destroyed and a handsome sideboard had been badly dis- figured. The bills in the store had been taken by the wife and destroyed and the place generally was in a state of extreme disorder. after the irate woman had done $1,000 damage and arrested her. ‘She spent the night in the first precinct police station and this morning she appeared in Judge Miller's court, where she was given a seat in the dock beside a negro who had stolen a ham from a “= mauled: pot where it was being fendant and asked for a continu - cause he had a case in another court,” °° Mr. Henry Wise Garnett appeared in the Interest act, the /husband and objected to a ce un! im satay less "the court committed the “Her husband's life and pr safe with her at large,” he gaia oe not She will have to give a bond f pearance,” said Judge Miller | OT RF 89 “There is no bond in the wi l will respect,” added counsel. eee After some discussion Mr. Carrington said he would return later in the day and try Mr. Nicolaides’ Story. Later on a plea of not guilty was entered in the case by Mr. Carrington, and Mr. Nicolaides, who is a small man. took the stand. With tears in his eves he described his wife's visit to the store vesterday and of their many family troubles. “I gave her a horse and carriage and everything she wanted.” said Nicolaides, “and yesterday she threatened to blow out my brains. All I want is protection, for my life and property are in constant danger.” re you afraid of your wife?” es, sir; I am.” ‘Did you not say last evering that you were not afraid of her?” “If I did I was out of my mind.” Scott Brooks, a negro employed about the store, testified that he heard Mrs. Nicolatdes say she would take a knife and cut her husband’s throat. He said he heard jher remark: “I'll be arrested and they will think I’m crazy, but I am not.” Goes With Women. Mrs. Nicolaides, in her own defense, told Judge Miller that she was married in Sara- toga. “The direct cause of this trouble is that he goes with other women,” said the de- fendant. “Do you mean you suspect him of going with other women?” queried the court. “No, sir," she replied, “I know it to be a fact. He goes with a woman named Cleo, who lives in Sinclair's house of ill fame, and he also goes with a woman named Blanche Anderson.” She charged that he beat her last Sunday. Her father, she said, furnished the capital in the business. “Are you not terribly jealous?” she was asked. jealous” question. I’m sure I don’t know,” said the judge. ‘What do you say about it?” ac “Well, I have.” After their separation on one occasion, she said, she returned to her home in Sara- toga and her husband came there and — her back. @ pictures destroyed, Mrs. N: sf wer 1 to her. era r. Nicolaides was recalled and he said that his wife's father kicked her out of the hovse. “She cut her legs with a knife,” “and then charged it to me. fessed to her father, others.” “My father's dead,” said the wife, shak- ing her hand at him, “and don't you stand there and tell such stories,” The Sentence. Mrs. Lewis, matron of the police station, was called and she said that Mrs.Nicolaides was very badly bruised about the chest and body, had assaulted her. Mr. Carrington argued that the woman intended to do her husband no harm and the best evidence of it was the fact that she always assaults goods in the store. Judge Miller in disposing of the case re- ferred to the last appearance of the parties in court and to what was done at that time. The woman's jealousy, he thought, was the cause of the whole trouble. The court was not called upon to pass upon the merits of that branch of the case. There is a bad feeling between the husband and wife and it is the duty of the court to prevent blood- shed in the future, if possible. In addition to the man being entitled to protection the community has some interest in the matter. The public is not to be bothered with these unseemly gatherings, and the judge said she would have to give real estate security in the sum of $504) to keep the peace or go to Jail for thirty days. Gave Bond. Mrs. Nicolaides gave the required bond anc was released. eS New York by the Pennsylvania Rail- ron Round-trip tickets will be sold today and tomorrow at $6.50 for the round trip.—Advt. you think I have a right to be was the way she answered the he said, This she con- stepmother and Bailey is Wanted.

It Was Red Hot, but That Did Not Bother Alexander. Alexander Childs is a resident of this city, but the exact location of his home is not known to the police. Alexander was locked up last night,/and although he was loud in his protestations df innocence he re- fused to tell where he lived, in order that the police might search his home for the stolen property. He is a hard-working man and has been employed by Mr. Godfrey of No. 2033 Yth street northwest. Saturday was pay day, but for some reason the labor- ers were not paid off until Monday. Childs | was not there to get his money, but last | evening he paid a visit to Mr. Godfrey's house, and like many colored visitors to | room, which is presided over by the cook. | But the cook was temporarily absent from | the kitchen at the time, and the man, after | remaining a short while, picked up Mr. | Godfrey’s copy of The Star and then he | Went over to the stove. A large ham was being cooked for supper, and this he remov- ed from the pot, wrapped it in the paper and started out. Just outside the house he met the servant, whose attention was at- tracted to the bundle, from one end of which she notice what appeared to be steam | pouring out. The man bore no visible evidence of physical pain resulting from his hot bundle, but he was making tracks from the house of his employer as fast as he could. Has- tening to the kitchen the colored woman discovered that the ham had been taken, and then she went in pursuit of the fugi- tive. Later he was arrested on the street and taken to the station, but no search cculd be made for the ham because he re- fused to tell Policeman Crawford where he lived. “I didn’t tech the ham,” was the prison- er’s plea in Judge Miller's court this morning. “I've often heard of people stealing hot | and cold stoves,” remarked Judge Miller, \“put never before have I heard of a man stealing a ham from the boiling water.” Mr. Godfrey and the servant told what they knew of the case, and the prisoner denied the charge. “Did the ham burn you?” the judge ask- ed him. “T didn’t have it,” was his answer. “He refused to tell where he lived,” in- terrupted the officer. “He didn’t want you to search his house,” said the judge. The prisoner was fined $20 or thirty days in jail. —_—-—>--— A WEATHER INDICATOR. Senator Peffer's Beard Serves the Pur- pose to a Charm, Goose-bones have long been recognized as standard barometers to Indicate coming bad weather. The thickness of the fur on chip- munks, the nut crop, the ground-hog’s qual- of anticipating the weather have been known to the ancients. Modern science has added instruments of curious device and intricate workmanship to accomplish the | Same purpose. But up to date the habitues lof the United States Senate have some- thing which eclipses them all. By the aid of Senator Peffer’s whiskers they can cal- culate the weather to a nicety. This is es- pecially true in regard to wind velocities. When the day is, balmy and springlike, and the saucy sparrows fill the eaves of the Capitol with their merry din, Senator Peffer's beard hangs down to his waist- band in all its hirsute glory, waving in rhythmic cadence to each motion. When | the wind sets in the northeast and the air | gets cold and damp, presaging a coming -nor’easter, he takes a reef in the beard—a kind of making all snug below and batten- ing down the hatches for ugly weather. If the weather grows thicker and the wind comes in fitful squalls, with a heavy sea running, as we say in the navy, he double reefs it and tucks the end inside his coat, | safe from toying winds. If the wind in- creases and veers to the northwest, in comes another reef, and this time he tucks it inside his vest. But when the boys see | him come into the building with all the beard inside and his coat buttoned up tight- \ly over it, scudding under bare poles, so to speak, then they know it is indeed blow- ing great guns outside, and that all small craft should k safe harbor. ual aia “Ro Small Fires.
